Featured Article: “Si riaprono le scuole” (School Reopens)
Written by Christine Drourad, this feature reflects on the start of the school season through the lens of children’s fashion. Key points include:
-
A return to elegance without the stiffness of traditional uniforms
-
A fashion evolution, not revolution—modern, child-friendly updates to classic styles
-
Shift toward practicality: coats in wool or nylon blends that offer both comfort and durability
-
Emphasis on knitwear for layering warmth under outer garments
-
Thoughtful coordination in girls' fashion—matching sets like skirts with jackets or cardigans
-
Accessories like ties and scarves to match collars complete the ensemble

An excellent reference for vintage children’s fashion historians, collectors, or sewing enthusiasts.
